  1. I feel like we should've kept Jokinen. He played well for us, but was not within our age group.
  2. He was a better than expected penalty killer, but giving him the title 'elite' is really stretching things. Like really stretching things. It's like saying Dubas made a great trade with Marleau by trading away a 1st rounder as a sweetener.
  3. We have to remember. "Not guilty" doesn't necessarily mean he didn't do it. It's just that the Crown was not able to establish that he did it. There IS a distinction, but that distinction is irrelevant when it comes to criminal law. I'll say it again. Not guilty does not mean he is innocent. Aladeen and I are not disputing the fact that he was found "not guilty" in the re-trial. We just have suspicions that he was probably the killer (which has no bearing on the law). Based on what I've seen, we are both aware that circumstantial evidence CAN be misleading. Remember the OJ Simpson case? He was found criminally not responsible. It doesn't mean he did it or didn't do it, except most people do think OJ SImpson really did do it. The law isn't perfect obviously and I feel like this is one of those examples where it would rather let go of a 'suspected' criminal than to wrongfully jail an innocent man. The blood on the jacket i think was the 'proof' that he did it, but the defense was successfully convince that there was reasonable doubt that it could've happened at an earlier, unrelated time.
  4. https://www.advocatedaily.com/dennis-oland-told-police-he-had-no-involvement-in-fathers-murder.html To me, his answers are wack. A crack-head looking for money? That's BS and couldn't be more vague. LOL. It should be noted that Dennis Oland was "deeply in debt", so there is a financial motivation, albeit circumstantial. I hope new evidence comes up either to clear him or to put him back in jail. Either way, the real killer shouldn't be allowed to roam around.
  5. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/dennis-oland-murder-trial-decision-verdict-1.5215559 Anyone know about this case? Personally, I know nothing about this guy's background nor this case. I don't have any inside info or what not, but I just have a feeling that this guy actually did it, but got away with it due to a technicality. (His murder conviction was overturned in the re-trial). Of course, I am still open to the fact that there might be other suspects (but there are NONE thus far) The father was struck 40+ times, suggesting it was perhaps a crime of passion. Dennis Oland (the accused) was the last person to see his dad. There were four "small" specks of blood on accused's jacket that belonged to his dad's DNA. Defence said it was "innocent transfer", which could happen but that's total crap IMO. They worked at a job where 'specks of blood' were probably not likely to happen (brewery) AND it just so happens to have dad's blood on the jacket? Something just tells me...that twisted smirk on his face in the photos suggests he's not innocent (totally unscientific, baseless and presumptuous, I fully admit). I am only stating how I feel, not what I know. Regardless, he is free so he is considered "innocent". I think it will interesting if evidence comes up where the killer is found - and that Dennis Oland was the killer after all. That'd be something. Leave him in peace and let him come to the wonderful realization that it's finally over. - Alan Gold, Oland's defence lawyer "Dennis lost his dad to a brutal murder eight years ago. The very same day that the body was found, before the police had even talked to Dennis, they were discussing putting 24 hours surveillance on Dennis, simply because he was the last known person to see his father." Gold said it will be a day to celebrate when the actual perpetrators are finally caught and brought to justice. "Based on a flawed investigation, they [police] never took their eyes off him," Gold said about his client. "I'm disappointed in a police force that demonstrated tunnel vision." Dennis Oland's 2nd murder trial: What was new this time around Dennis Oland in his own words: What he told his murder retrial Richard Oland, 69, was found dead in his Saint John office on July 7, 2011. (Canadian Yachting Association) A 'punishing 8 years' Gold said Oland will spend quality time with family throughout Friday and mentally trying to regroup. The lawyer said he feels bad for the family as they endured "a very punishing" eight years emotional and financially. "Right now he's entitled to as much private time with his family, and lie there and finally convince himself that it's finally over," he said. "Leave him in peace and let him come to the wonderful realization that it's finally over." According to the Public Prosecution Services, there will be no immediate decision on whether there will be an appeal, since prosecutors need to "carefully study and review Mr. Justice Morrison's reasons for judgment. "Public Prosecution Services has 30 days to file an appeal and no other comment will be made at this point," it said in a statement out of Fredericton For the retrial, which lasted 44 days and spanned four months, 61 witnesses testified and 309 pieces of evidence were submitted. Oland and his wife Lisa arrive at the Law Courts in Saint John on Friday to hear the judge's decision in his retrial over his father's 2011 death. (Andrew Vaughan/Canadian Press) A key piece of evidence in the Crown's case was the brown sports jacket Oland wore when he visited his father. It was later found to have four small bloodstains on it and DNA matching his father's profile. The defence argued it was "innocent transfer" and could have predated the homicide.

It has been described as the O.J. Simpson case of the Maritimes, in reference to the former American football star who was found not guilty in 1995 of the killing of his wife. On Friday, court staff set up overflow seating in an adjacent courtroom for the anticipated large crowd of spectators. Each courtroom can accommodate about 125 people. On mobile? Get the latest details from our live blog When a jury found Oland guilty at his first trial in December 2015, he collapsed into his chair and wailed uncontrollably. He was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for at least 10 years. Oland served about 10 months before the New Brunswick Court of Appeal overturned his conviction and ordered a new trial, citing an error in the judge's instructions to the jury. Oland has maintained his innocence and members of his extended family have stood by him.
  6. He served a purpose. Nothing more, nothing less. We still have Baertschi from CAL. That is a definite win.
  7. This time I understand your post very well
  8. I see what you're saying but you're misusing the word. Of course you can feel free to do that and justify your case, which you did, but Boeser has proven himself beyond a prospect. He's a talented young NHL player with two seasons of 20+ goals. That is not a prospect.
  9. This guy's going to be a key part of the team. Foundational, I'd say. #cdccontroversy
  10. Yes I know, but you try to stand pat if you're a Stanley Cup winner. Were they the Stanley Cup winner? The only major change CAL made this summer was swapping goalies. FYI, this is all that they did this summer, so yeah... it's not good. COL/Vancouver both have massively improved their rosters. Standing pat is a mistake - and we'll see how they'll fare next year. Let's not even get into what EDM did. LOL. July 1, 2019 Flames sign Byron Froese July 1, 2019 Flames sign Brandon Davidson July 1, 2019 Flames sign Cam Talbot June 13, 2019 Flames sign Eetu Tuulola May 10, 2019 Flames sign Alexander Yelesin May 7, 2019 Flames sign Carl-Johan Lerby April 20, 2019 Flames sign Martin Pospisil April 17, 2019 Flames recall 10 players from Stockton April 9, 2019 Flames sign Artyom Zagidulin April 9, 2019 Flames recall Jon Gillies from Stockton April 3, 2019 Flames recall Dillon Dube from Stockton April 1, 2019 Flames recall Juuso Valimaki from Stockton March 21, 2019 Flames assign Curtis Lazar to Stockton .
  11. I didn't make the connection between the call-up and the immediate injury that followed. Your post makes sense now. Better not to call him up at all. Just get him to start in VAN LOL.
  12. You usually make pretty interesting posts, if anything your posting style is unique to other people. But this one is a head scratcher. You can't get a player to play if they're injured...
  13. Lmfao... it's pretty sad that the two divisional rivals who haven't improved whatsoever are trading with each other.
  14. Despite his lack of offense at the NHL level (and even in the AHL), Canes fans remain hopeful that he can be a serviceable player in the future. Most fans have already realized/accepted that he will not pan out to be the 7th overall he was drafted to be, but they note that he wasn't terrible during his short time in the NHL. Canes have had a deep defense, so Fleury has not had any playing time hence in the AHL. They also say that this year is his year to shine - or else he's going to be traded for a change of scenery. From what it sounds like, he is a good kid that has massively underperformed. Nothing more, nothing less. It's not like he isn't working hard to improve and he isn't a defensive liability that Pouliot is, so he has that going for him. Fleury actually has a 1 year, 1 way contract and is waiver eligible, whereas Pouliot's contract, if I'm not mistaken, is 1 year, 2-way. They're borderline NHL players either way. Reading about him, you start to appreciate how patient their fans have been with Fleury. Canuck fans can learn a lot from that. Juolevi for example is still very young and hasn't played an NHL game yet due to unfortunate injuries. Yet people have crapped on him to no end.
  15. I feel the same way. Worse names could have been picked like North West though... or Apple Martin
  16. Wow, 2016 is calling. It wants their joke about fortnite back. Juolevi has been absolved of that rumour, so why bother posting this junk at all?
  17. JB shouldn't. That's a horrible trade for the Canucks.
  18. Well, maybe not necessarily a 'decoy' however the fact that they were able to find this is due to someone squealing about its location. In reality, it's really like finding a needle in the haystack. The ocean is HUGE - it's crazy when you really think about it.
  19. That's not going to be hard. They can pay off certain officials to look the other way. It's a lot of money we're talking about here, but it's only a small fraction of how much profit these cartels make.
  20. It's clear that Dakota had no interest in signing with Toronto. I'm surprised that not everyone wants to play in the center of the universe.
  21. That's a really good question. It's why the war on drugs is a waste of time and money. This semi-submersible vessel won't make it through but others will. The discovery of this one was most likely tipped off, allowing another ship (with more drugs) to go through as enforcement agents become distracted. There's an illusion that 'something' was done to stop drugs. That's not even close to what's happening. I'm sure drug smugglers would love all ships to go through unhindered but it's a business which they truly understand. There's going to be gains and losses, so they make sure they gain more than they lose. Also, those ships are cheap for them to buy.
  22. One of many examples of true love found in old love letters. It is well worth clicking the link to see the pictures. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/lost-love-letter-1.5205204
  23. So let me get this straight... St. Louis Blues Acquire: Michael Del Zotto Anaheim Ducks Acquire: 6th-round pick (2019) This is an example of asset management! #cdccontroversy
  24. Panic. If he was actually confident, he wouldn't feel the need to state that he was 'confident'. #cdccontroversy
